It's a good thing I don't have a beta. Though my experience with them in the past very much spoiled it for all you would-bes out there, I think I don't like it. Some of you are not mesh-y with my personality. Some of you correct in a way that makes me grind my teeth. I guess when I tell people that they should point out grammatical errors, I should tell them not to be so... I don't know.... smug? about it. I know I'm not perfect. Never said I was. Don't treat me like you're bringing down God just because I typed He instead of Her. I can't stand that. I can think of better reasons to get spanked... verbally or otherwise. I'm not a child. Don't correct me as if it were my first English lesson. I'll resent the hell out of you for it. I know the language. It is my first. I have a unique grasp of it, so I'm told. Don't go all ESL on me just to prove I'm not as great as I think I am.... because contrary to popular echo myth, I don't happen to think I'm all that great. I happen to know all too well that my character needs some serious fashioning. Always has. Don't try to make me feel inferior for being a clumsy typist and an automatic visual corrector when there are much better things to pick on.

Now I'm going to go finish up part 25 of Snake.

If you are going to have prissy snotty holier-than-thou betas, I tell 'em all where to stick thier 'corrections' too.
